Carl (Happy Birthday)

A baby brother entered the scene
Back in the days when life was simpler
Carl was his name
Danger was his game--
Even with signed permission in a letter
For dirt bike rides through the  fields.
Getting out with friends
He avoided three older sisters
Intent on the world as he saw it
Just following his path.
Karl and Carl hung out when  they were young, but
Life always included friends
Motorcycles grew until
Now a Harley Davidson
On the road gets him around.
Past days in the fields
Questing adventure
Readied him for
Solo trips to work and group
Trips with Monique
Until life is simply an adventure
Veering toward the sunset
With Monique at his side
eXalting just as much in the freedom of the road
Yes--she has her own motorcycle--
Zooming down the highway together.
